Police to support small retailers hit by ram raids

Police will manage a 6 million dollar crime prevention programme, installing bollards and similar measures to prevent ram raids, as part of the government's response to the attacks. Police Minister Poto Williams announced the Small Retailer Crime Prevention program yesterday, saying it will help the retailers who don't have the resources to protect themselves. It follows a spate of middle of the night ram raids in the city, some carried out by children as young as 7.
